FLINT, MI - Eight people were hospitalized when a truck crashed into a large group of people protesting early Tuesday.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gretchen Whitmer participated in the event. She was not injured and was taken from the scene shortly after the crash.

A burgundy Chevrolet pickup truck was driving north on Dort Highway about 7 a.m. on Oct. 2 and ran into the tail end of a large group picketing for $15 minimum wage and unionization for fast food restaurant workers.
